Freedamn by Rin Takan | | Freedom
can be described ways to different people. To a small subculture from Southern
California freedom was defined through a lifestyle they loved intertwined with
Skateboarding, Surfing, Hot Rodding and Motorcycling. My Freedamn tells the story
of freedom told through the t-shirts people wore.. Said best by the author, the
T-shirt is a "Symbol of Freedom" but also a "rebellion to society". Ch. 1: Surfing
T-shirts 1940-80s "OP" and more Ch 2: Skateboarding T-shirts Old School and New
School Chapter 3: Motorcycling T-shirts 50s - 70s Races & Shops 70s Outlaws Chapter
4: Hot Rod T-shirts 50s INDY 60s Hot Rod Airbrushing 320 page | Color | Hard cover

Freedamn 2 by Rin Takan | | "My
Freedamn!2" dives into the American t-shirt culture for a second round. The t-shirt
is one of the most amazing fashion pieces by Americans, and they have always been
part of American daily lifestyle. Also there is nothing but t-shirts to make us
free and comfortable. So I want you t-shirt crazys to think about something; what
is "freedom", or what is "freedamn"? |
